Vegetarian Sheet Pan Huevos Rancheros

Sheet Pan Huevos Rancheros really are the perfect breakfast food; they are healthy, vegetarian, have lots of vegetables and protein (eggs and refried beans), and are loaded with melted cheese! I discovered and fell in love with the best ones ever at the Highlevel Diner in Edmonton on our last visit. So obviously I attempted to replicate them and I think I did a darn good job!

The only difference is that I made them quicker and easier. You’ll love how this easy, gluten-free Sheet Pan Vegetarian Huevos Rancheros recipe will make your life simpler. You can quickly make 6 servings on one sheet pan using instant rice, canned refried beans, and my quick blender tomato sauce- all in 30 minutes! And they are WW friendly.

However, you'll still want to check out Highlevel Diner the next time you’re in Edmonton. 

Because not only is their Huevos Rancheros recipe delicious, their Cinnamon Buns with Bourbon sauce are also to die for!

The diner is at the south end of the Highlevel Bridge, where you get a fantastic view of Edmonton. It’s really a beautiful walk from the diner (and you can burn off some of that breakfast.) I can't wait to go back this summer! 

🥘 Ingredients

I love this recipe because of how quick, easy, and healthy it is! You don't need olive oil or any other kind of oil to make it:

• I made a rancheros tomato sauce out of ingredients (green pepper, onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, etc..) that can quickly be tossed in the blender and pureed.
• You don't even need to chop up the veggies for this spicy tomato sauce; just simply throw the chunks in and let the blender do all the work!
• Instant rice and canned refried beans make it really quick.
• And the tortillas are baked at the same time as the dish so there's no fussing with frying. Easy peasy!

🔪Instructions

Prep: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9X13 baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

• Cook instant rice as per package directions and set aside.
• Place the tomatoes, cumin, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapenos, 2 sprigs of cilantro and green pepper in blender and puree until smooth. Then transfer to a microwave safe dish and cook for 5 minutes in microwave.
• Spray another baking sheet with non- stick cooking spray and add tortillas, spacing evenly (don't worry if they hang over the edge.) Bake ONLY 5 minutes. *If they puff up in spots, pop it with a toothpick and push the air out. But be careful, the steam is HOT! Cool for 2 minutes after baking and flatten.

Hint: If you want to ensure the egg will stay in the spot you crack it onto, make a small indent in the sauce with the back of a spoon.

⏲️ Baking time

Bake for 10 minutes (for a nice runny yolk) or until eggs are to your liking. *If you like the egg yolks harder you’ll have to bake it a little longer. Then serve with warm tortillas.

📖 Variations & Substitutions

• Spicier - you could add some chili powder to the sauce, or crushed red pepper or your choice of hot sauce as a garnish
• Tomato sauce - Many recipes use a fresh Pico de Gallo type sauce. Although I love that type of fresh salsa, I'm not a big fan of all the chopping required. These Easy Huevos Rancheros use a simple blender/microwave tomato ranchero sauce to make it easier and faster. But if you prefer that sauce and would like to use it with this recipe then simply replace the tomato sauce with my Pico de gallo.  Beware: it will take you longer! 
• Cheese- you could use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar
• Salsa - you could use a store-bought salsa or homemade salsa to garnish
• Vegan - use vegan cheese instead of regular cheddar cheese and a tofu scramble instead of eggs, to make vegan huevos rancheros
• Onion - you could use red onion instead of white onion
• Pepper you could use a red bell pepper instead of green peppers

💭Huevos Rancheros meaning

Huevos rancheros is a rural Mexican dish and a traditional Mexican breakfast that literally means rancher’s eggs in Spanish. In essence, it's a plate of food consisting of eggs, beans, rice, and sometimes papas (potatoes) with tortillas. Avocado/guacamole, and various regional sauces can sometimes be accompaniments as well. And it's considered a Mexican comfort food.  You can read more about Heuvos Rancheros HERE.
